Lyrics:
I don't feel the weight of the world anymore. I let go of everything I used to know. I don’t feel the pain in my chest like before. Like before. So why do I care? When I know that I don’t belong anywhere? And they’ll never understand what I am? There’s no place for me and I’ll have nothing to lose if I lose everything. I used to look up. I used to have strings, but now I’m free. But now I’m free. But now I’m free. But now I’m free. Tryna sell me dreams I no longer believe. Tryna make me someone I never could be. Why do I keep chasing what's out of my reach? My reach. And why does it hurt? When I know I’ll never get what I deserve? And they’ll never understand what I’m worth? There’s no place for me and I’ll have nothing to lose if I lose everything. I used to look up. I used to have strings, but now I’m free. But now I’m free. But now I’m free. But now I’m free.
